  • Page 25: Operating Basics

    Operating Basics Overview The ACO-2200 can be thought of as an automatic multi-pole switch that actuates whenever an error is detected in any BNC signal channel. All channels will switch at the same time. Any unused BNC input channel should be configured to disable error checking. If unused channels are not disabled, they will always produce error signals leading to improper operation.
